We’ve been trialling keg for quite a while now. We’ve sent quite a bit to Italy and a fair amount goes out of the country. We haven’t always got it right, but we believe we have our techniques cracked. Over the next few weeks we’ll be rolling out Azimuth into as many craft beer bars as possible. Watch out for it in the places that are lucky enough for us to send it to.
